The camera in Google’s Moto X breaks new ground by using a clear pixel to improve low-light image performance, but only time will tell whether it avoids the image quality problems that have plagued earlier efforts to use similar designs

Have you ever wondered what the insides of a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) actually look like? I know there’s a big CMOS censor on the front, and a powerful chip that can process vast amounts of data very quickly — but beyond that, I figured a DSLR was just a bunch of buttons. In actual fact, it turns out that modern DSLRs are some of the most complex electromechanical devices you’ll ever see — and we have glorious teardown photos to prove it.

Has the ubiquitous Bayer array been dethroned? Fujifilm shatters the resolution barrier with a 16MP APS-C sized-sensor that does away with the crippling “blurring” filter found in most current digital cameras.
